SportsLingo Goes The Extra-Inch With And One

The “and one” play, or three-point play, is also commonly called the “old-fashioned” three-pointer. The reason being is that before the three-point line was implemented in the 1960s for professional basketball and in the 1980s for college basketball, there was no other way that a player could score three points in a single shot attempt.

When the three-point shot isn’t working for a team in the game, and they’re down by significant points, one strategy they may implement is to constantly drive towards the basket, with the hopes of making the basket and getting fouled. At the very least, if they are fouled, they would be granted two free attempts.
